Warren Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 So, 52.86% less therefore approx 47.14% of the weight in my tank or about 350kg or so... Only about 17 times the originally predicted weight and 5 times 70kg... There is a lot of gravel in my tamk though and you may choose to use less than I have. A 450L tank is going to be closer to 1000kg than 600kg. Don't muck around with these lightweight cabinets or they will pancake themselves in the fisrt little earthquake we have. Build a decent braced steel or wooden stand, - something that will take at least 1000kg (10kN) of side loading. If it can't handle this then it will collapse in a good shake.
